Chapter 420: The New Year's Drama of 1940 (2)

It is difficult for Han Yunhua's subordinates to find out about such a huge action of the North China Front, and besides, Tada Jun is playing with power to suppress people, and he does not hide it at all, or he does not bother to hide it at all. Although the North China Front did not explicitly announce the number of troops to be sent to the outside world, because this was a military secret after all, the numbers of all the troops involved in the offensive of the North China Front were made public, and all of them could be investigated with a little investigation, except for the reserves hidden in the Beijing-Tianjin area, of course.

After Han Yunhua received the urgent telegram from the Ministry of Intelligence, he was also taken aback after reading the information collected by the intelligence officers, originally he expected that the North China Front would transfer six to seven divisions and regiments at most, plus five independent H-N brigades and 150,000 troops, it was already the limit, after all, the North China Front had just been hit hard, and even with the support of Nǎi Niang, it would be impossible to fully recover in a short period of time. Just like the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region, even if the more than 40,000 troops lost are given another 100,000 troops, they may not be as strong as the 40,000 combat effectiveness, after all, the newly formed recruit units cannot be compared with the veterans with rich combat experience.

But Tada Jun, an old devil, does have two hands, and as soon as he came up, he gave Han Yunhua a dismount. According to the information collected by the Ministry of Intelligence M-N, there were at least two infantry divisions and one chariot division between Zhangjiakou and Beiping, and there were also a large number of puppet troops, numbering at least 75,000 people. Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army in the direction of Zhangjiakou are more than one step stronger than the Japanese army in the other two places, at least one tank division is worth four infantry divisions, and it seems that the little devils are still determined to recover Zhangjiakou.

There were two Japanese army assembly points on the Jizhong line, one was Zhulu and the other was Laiyuan. According to intelligence, the Japanese army in the direction of Zhulu is about 50,000 people in four divisions, while the Japanese army in the direction of Laiyuan is about three divisions and more than 40,000 people, and there are about 40,000 to 50,000 puppet troops in both directions. The intelligence department M-N judged that the Japanese army had dispatched at least 200,000 troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China.

However, Han Yunhua believed that there were far more than 200,000 troops, and that there were as many as 150,000 Japanese troops in the three directions of Zhangjiakou, Zhulu, and Laiyuan alone, plus 50,000 or 60,000 puppet troops, so there were as many as 200,000 troops directly involved in the battle. And Han Yunhua judged that Tada Jun still had at least 50,000 to 80,000 reserves, and during the last Battle of North China, General Binshan Yuan suffered the loss of having no reserves and the troops were too scattered. Therefore, Han Yunhua doesn't think that with Tada Jun's intelligence, he can't see this, and if he doesn't leave a little reserve, he will be sorry for Tada Jun's great reputation.

What's more, according to Han Yunhua's estimates, the Japanese army in North China has at least 350,000 troops, and the reason why he did not expect the Japanese army to be able to transfer so many troops is entirely because although the North China Front Army has a lot of troops, the North China Front Army can hold a lot of territory, and according to the calculation of the area now occupied by the North China Front Army, the entire territory of Shandong, most of Hebei and Shanxi, and half of Henan and the Beijing-Tianjin region are calculated. With such a vast territory, there are no less than 100 cities alone, and according to the calculation of at least 1,000 defenders in each city, more than 100,000 people are also needed to garrison the entire Japanese army. Moreover, military towns like Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan, Taiyuan, and Shim-N do not need to be guarded by 10,000 people. Therefore, according to Han Yunhua's estimate, the Japanese army will have at least about 200,000 defenders left in the rear alone. So many Tian Jun can chōu transfer out the attack troops are only more than 100,000 people, but the corresponding Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region has nearly 300,000 jīng rui, even if it is deducted from the 100,000 troops used to stay in the base area, but there are also more than 200,000 jīng rui used to counterattack the Japanese army, so Han Yunhua has never been worried about fighting against the North China Front army.

But now it seems that Han Yunhua underestimated the old devil Tada Jun, and he was a big deal as soon as he made a move, and this time the North China Front Army transferred at least more than 300,000 troops. Among them, the purebred Japanese army should be about 250,000, and the puppet army also has 670,000, which almost accounts for more than 60 of the Japanese puppet army in North China. This put a lot of pressure on Han Yunhua, and at the same time, what worried Han Yunhua the most was that the Japanese army base camp actually gave the third tank division, one of the few tank units in the entire Japan, to Tada Jun, an old devil, which was not good news.

Speaking of the Japanese army's Third Tank Division and Han Yunhua, they can be regarded as old enemies, although the two sides have never fought each other, but the relationship is not shallow. At that time, Han Yunhua's unit attacked Baotou and looted all the chariot equipment that had just been transported to Baotou, resulting in the Third Division still in the northeast having to return to China for installation.

As the saying goes, the retribution of the present world comes quickly, no, people have just finished arranging and coming back for revenge after a period of training. Han Yunhua knows a lot about this third tank division, which is the only tank unit on the Chinese battlefield that fights from north to south. Historically, the 3rd Chariot Division was formed in Baotou with a new outfit, and then attacked all the way to the south, fighting with more than 70 Chinese divisions, and it was still more victorious and less defeated, and even participated in the Battle of Central Henan in 1944. This third chariot division alone is enough for Han Yunhua's subordinates to drink a pot, although there is also a chariot brigade in the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region, but it is really difficult to say whether it will win or lose with this chariot third division.

Besides, Han Yunhua really didn't dare to let the mechanized brigade and the third division of the tank be in the hands of the chariot, because the heavy equipment of the chariot can not be produced in the M-NG ancient military region, and it is difficult to replenish it once the loss is large, and Japan's military production capacity can be more than ten times stronger than that of the M-ng ancient military region and even the whole of China, and even the chariots and tanks, which belong to strategic equipment in this era, can be mass-produced, in a word, The Japanese army lost money, and once Han Yunhua's unit lost, the mechanized brigade had to be withdrawn, so how to deal with the Japanese army's tank division also became a problem that troubled Han Yunhua.

These things in Han Yunhua's mind only came to mind in a short period of time, but how to solve them was not up to him alone, and he made a decision after discussion by the entire military region. Han Yunhua said loudly to M-N: "Notice, at two o'clock in the afternoon, cadres above the minister of the military region will come to the conference room for a meeting, and immediately notify it." By the way, tell Comrade Yuhan, just say that I won't go back to eat today, let her eat by herself."

Two o'clock in the afternoon, small conference room.

The small conference room is also called the internal conference room because this conference room can only accommodate more than a dozen people for meetings, plus the people who usually come here for meetings are senior cadres of the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region, and the general military rank must at least reach the level of division commander or division political commissar level cadres to be qualified to hold meetings here, so it is jokingly called the internal conference room or the general conference room by the soldiers.

The telegram sent by Qian Zhuangfei was sent to Luo Ronghuan and the others to read, and then Han Yunhua spoke: "Comrades, this time is a critical moment related to the life and death of our internal M-ng Ancient Military Region and the life and death of our entire Chinese nation. is different from the last time, although the last time the little devil also dispatched an army of more than 100,000, but it was not as crazy as this time the old devil Tada Jun. Everyone has read the information just now, the Japanese puppet army in the entire North China region adds up, and it is only about 500,000 when it is full, but this time the little devil actually mobilized more than 300,000 troops to attack our Eighth Route Army, it seems that the little devil has reached the limit of patience, and this time he is determined to clean up our Eighth Route Army. ...
